Abstract
- The quest for education does not cease
after having pursued a baccalaureate degree. One
should consider a graduate degree that may improve
his career. The graduate school of the Nueva Vizcaya
State University (NVSU), Bambang, Nueva Vizcaya,
which aims at providing quality graduate education to
its stakeholders, has been proactively equipped with
educational machineries that serve as drivers of
institutional capacities of NVSU to offer and conduct
quality graduate programs. Despite the efforts of the
university to discharge excellent services that address
the longing of the graduate students for enhancement of
their 21st century skills, there are some inhibitors that
need to be unveiled and calibrated to upgrade the
institutional capabilities of the university to respond to
the career needs of its stakeholders. NVSU has postbaccalaureate
programs considered best graduate
offerings whose bases of selection are anchored on
accreditation, enrolment and number of graduates.
Some sectors of society, economy or academia, or
particular career competencies are deemed focus of the
graduate school. Students who usually enrol in the
graduate programs are identified in terms of
baccalaureate preparations, career objectives and
activities or professional and personal undertakings
after completion of the best programs. The quality,
relevance and competitive value of NVSU are being
strengthened and backed by government policies and
programs that favor the improvement of the graduate
programs of the university and divulge the educational
aspects that should be given attention to address the
inhibitors of institutional capacities of the graduate
school to offer and conduct graduate programs.
